<p></p><p>Behind a great wine there is always a great story. In the case of Grão Vasco, it is written with words of dedication, rigor, innovation, experience and passion. Words that tell the past, the present and the future. A start dating back to the late 50's in a small regional company - Super-Dão Winery Ltd</p>

<p>Amber in color, Falcoaria Late Harvest presents an exuberant aromatic profile, with pronounced notes of tangerine, dried fig, apricot, and delicate orange blossom.

The finish is fresh, elegant, and remarkably persistent, confirming both its singular character and excellent capacity for aging in bottle</p>

<p></p><p>Ode Arinto is a white wine with high natural acidity and low alcohol, Arinto has the ability to age very well. 50% of this wine was aged in new 500 litre French oak barrels for 5 months. A truly elegant example of this variety's potential, with beautiful pear and green apple fruit, quince and subtle vanilla.</p> <p>A great wine with delicate flavours and rich sauces. With high natural acidity it is a great wine for duck confit. It also works well with mushroom dishes like risotto and soft cheeses</p>
